A trip to the hospital can feel incredibly stressful. Even if the waiting rooms have comfortable chairs and free coffee, the anticipation of a needle or the possibility of bad news can make anyone anxious.

To highlight the importance of bedside manner, we compiled a list of wholesome doctor moments where they put people at ease with kindness and humor.

A Hospital Surgeon Creates "Dressing Drawings" So Kids Don't See Scars
“The pen may not be mightier than the scalpel, pediatric surgeon Dr. Robert Parry always takes a moment to make sure a scar isn’t the only lasting memory of a child’s surgical procedure. He surprises them with a hand-drawn dressing featuring a character or something that personally interests them.”

Dr. Amanda Hess Pauses Her Own Labor To Deliver Another Woman's Baby
SPECIAL DELIVERY: As Dr. Amanda Hess was getting into her hospital gown to be induced to give birth, she heard nurses prepping a woman who needed to give birth right away because her baby was in distress. But the woman's OBGYN was not at the hospital yet, so Dr. Hess (an OBGYN herself) put on another gown to cover her backside, threw on boots over her flip-flops, and delivered the baby.

This 9-year-old recently had to go in for surgery and was so nervous that he brought his stuffed wolf. The wolf had a tear in its leg, so it asked if its doctor could do a wolf surgery, too. His parent said "no." But when they walked into the recovery room, they discovered the little wolf lying next to their son, this time with a surgical mask, a little cast, and surgical-grade sutures in his leg.
